Assumming I recall correctly, this is by design, if the MBR is considered non-empty then it is not overwritten on purpose (also only the MBR on the primary drive is ever written to). The purpose behind this decision is to not overwrite LILO or any other multi-boot program or whatever program you have installed on your MBR; to forcefully overwrite use the not so documented /MBR switch (or one of FreeFdisk's other similar options) or clear the MBR prior to fdisking.
